About two years a close friend friend of mine was reciting these lyrics "Dicks over the Chicks is the slogan" I asked what the hell are you listening to and what rapper is this. Well his name is Bry'Nt for the most part he is cute I mean I almost cried knowing this guy is gay that is how hot he is. He does deliever good rap lyrics, talent, and creativity. For years people have said that hip-hop has been always been homophobic personally I disagree. I think it began just talking about parties, clothes, break dancing and things young people did to pass free time by having fun at the same time. Although I am not saying homophobia doesn't exsist in the hip-hop community with some rappers and other people. But enough about that who is Bry'Nt?
Who is Bry'Nt? Bry’Nt grew an early interest in music growing up in Hartford, CT, and from this interest grew a passion. He and a couple of friends started a rap group called 3rd Degree. Although he was extremely expressive with his music, Bry’Nt was not comfortable with his sexuality at this point in his life. His sexuality remained a secret from his family, his friends, his group, and most importantly, his mother. It was at age 15 that Bry’Nt came to accept his sexuality, and this is where his music took a turn. Feeling that the images of the homosexual lifestyle in Hip-Hop music were poor, he wanted to portray a realistic one. With that he felt he needed to make music that was more “rainbow-friendly,” (a pun he developed to describe his style of music). Bry’Nt feels that a rapper’s sexuality shouldn’t define them, or put them in a separate category musically.
Bry’Nt began his solo career with the release of his controversial mixtapes “Porn Star” (2008) and “Porn Star II: The Director’s Cut” (2009). He would then go on to be featured on a series of collaborative efforts with many artists. He has also had the privilege to perform nationally and internationally opening for artists such as Fantasia, Teairra Mari, RuPaul, and DJ Class. From interviews on Sirius Satellite Radio with DJ Kay Slay and Angela Yee, features in a number of magazines including Spin, Bleu, and Kontrol Magazine, having his own brand of condoms, starring in the independent film "Finding Me: Truth", and being an OUTMusic Award nominee, Bry’Nt has put himself at the forefront of an underground movement known as “Out Hip-Hop;” which consists of openly gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual artists.
Still About the Music! Bry’Nt has been hard at work trying to deliver to his fans his long-awaited EP “Bry’Nt Park." You were given an introduction to the lyrical mastermind with his first two mix tapes, “Porn Star” and “Porn Star II: The Director’s Cut.” The wait is over! Get ready for the release of “Bry’Nt Park” in 2011.
My Final Thoughts: Truth to be told I don't give a damn about anyone being a gay rapper and I not opposed to any individual expressing themselves. It is not bringing me any harm so why do some heterosexual rappers have an issue with gay rappers. Let's keep it real some of these guys are undercover gays and they feel threatened and insecure because there are openly gay people who are willing to spit mad flows and drop hot tracks. And then I think some other rappers feel like "gay culture" is becoming more popular and it messes with their money and lifestyle because at the end of the day everybody is trying to eat and pay the bills. I could understand that fear but one shouldn't be rude or hate on anybody. If you don't like the music just don't listen to it and the only thing that can be judged is his talent which he does have. There is only one Bry'Nt song I will listen to and enjoy its called " Hello Goodbye" the beat being used is from Junior Mafia's 96 hit " Get Money aka Fuck Ni**az Get Money." It sounds like something I would say to a guy that's why I like that song but I can't handle the rest of his music but I tried to have an open mind that is why I wrote this post.
I will never understand what its like to be apart of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, and Transgender) Community because I am a heterosexual woman but I do believe in treating other people like human beings because that is what they are. As for the "Rainbow" thing honestly I think the rainbow does not and should not have anything to do with any one's sexuality because it only helps create division and more conflict. On the flip side Bry'Nt might not just have to face a challenge from heterosexual rappers it might be other members of the gay male community. Because not all men fit overly masculine thug bill yet not all gay men are extremely feminine trust me from what I have seen just be cool and let them break it down to you.
